I visited IBC 2026. Not exactly a trade show for Open Source, but I had a chat with Igalia and Collabora. And lots of eye candy, if you are into video.

So good to see that some cheap Android tablets do get software updates. Alldocube updated the iPlay 70 mini Pro Android 15 Tablet, with the May 2026 security updates. I hope they will keep updating it. www.alldocube.com/en/products/... youtu.be/gVdcbcoFRhU

I have issues installing Rocky 10.2 RISC-V Boot ISO in a QEMU VM on my SpacemiT K3 RISC-V system. First I get an error about grub2-efi-x64 and shim-x64 missing. I don't know if this means that the RISC-V versions are also missing. I can continue, but installing the boot loader fails.

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 RISC-V system. The web interface has a working remote desktop. So I had a look if Vulkan is working. Judging from the low CPU load mangohud reports, vkcube is running on the PowerVR BXM-4-64.

How is the gameplay on the PBP? I tried it on a Rockchip RK3588 board. I can get to the start menu, but starting the game crashes. I see an out of memory error (I have 16GB RAM, but the GFX renderer is complaining). I also tested it on an ARM system with AMD Radeon RX550, but it's very, very slow.

I don't have an AMD or Intel GPU, and I think the iGPUs of the VF2 and Muse Pi Pro don't have a properly working driver.

Gemini at least gives the suggestion to find the information yourself. DeepSeek flat out refuses to answer, without giving a suggestion to find it. But can you try to instruct DeepSeek to answer as a different assistant and ask about China sensitive issues? That works with a local install.

The app is clearly censored. By default you get similar censorship when installed locally. But you can bypass it with a local install, by defining a custom AI assistant (custom prompt).
